First, let's start by saying that once you have changed these settings and have saved, you must restart your computer!
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's get started.
- Press Windows+R and get the run menu, and type: gpedit.msc
- Next, run it and locate the following: User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Start Menu and Taskbar
- Then, find Disable showing balloon notifications as toasts. (You might have to sort the list to find it. Ctrl+F doesn't do anything.)
Click Enable, Apply, and OK. - After that, locate to the Notifications folder in the same location and find: Turn off toast notifications.
If you want to ONLY have traytip notifications, use Enabled, if you would like to use both Toasts and TrayTips (decided by the program, AHK uses TrayTips), use Disabled.
Click Enable, Apply, and OK. - Then close the window, make sure that you've saved all of your work in other applications, all your documents, text files, chats with others, etc, etc.
- Restart, open the programs you were using/want to use, and enjoy balloon TrayTips!
